Johnny Field (OF, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 0% of leagues

ANALYSIS:  Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Johnny Field is a player that we just cannot give up on, even with his ridiculously low ownership. Mr. Create-A-Player got back on the horse this week, hitting .350/.381/.500 on 20 at-bats with a home run, four runs, and three more runs batted in.

The week’s output brings his season line to .295/.338/.492 with a solid .197 ISO power. Field continues to play like an above average hitter who is looking for opportunities. He is a good ballplayer that will eventually get enough run in the Rays outfield to matter in 2018. A 35.4% hard hit rate and 21.7% line drive rate show that he is squaring up the ball well. He has been around a 25% line drive rate in the minors over the last three seasons, so look for him to continue hitting frozen ropes.

Furthermore, we love him and the Rotoballer staff is adopting him. Pictures and updates are forthcoming. For now, pick him up as a deep sleeper in deeper formats.
